It's a rec league no matter how you cut it, you're gonna have terrible refs. I highly doubt the rules state no swearing either but if they do I would find another league. I can't play ball without swearing when it's against competitive talent, it's too intense not to.
Was this the right move by the ref to eject me?

What I want to know is why he waited two minutes to throw you out?
It's odd. It's like he just wanted to prove a point."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Sounds like the rule of the league is no cussing. Not cussing AND threatning another player, just one of them. You cussed. You got tossed. Sounds like the ref was just enforcing the rules.Comment

I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

Re: Was this the right move by the ref to eject me?
Question: Are other people cussing ever during a game, or was your swearing the only time it happened?
If you were the only one, and that's the rule, then it's pretty clear.
In general though, it's not a good idea to drop F-bombs that loudly....sometimes I'll be pissed at myself at whatever sport I'm playing, but I more talk to myself than yell and make a big spectacle.
Like in tennis, you can be mad at yourself but you don't have to blow up and go all McEnroe.Nintendo Switch Friend Code: SW-7009-7102-8818Comment

I think different people just handle things differently. As long as you're not hurting someone I have no problem with the loud f-bombs.Question: Are other people cussing ever during a game, or was your swearing the only time it happened?

I rather see that in a teammate than nothing at all.
And while I understand the whole fear that a child may hear you argument, I don't see why someone should hold back their anger just because they worry a kid's innocent ears will hear them.
You're no longer playing competitive sport if you're concerned about the people watching."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.
